【942】 Christmas
Xiaobei and his family arrived at the "Dream Ranch" on the afternoon of the Sunday. Their family has been in the limelight in New York these days, and their news is on the pages of major media.
In a sense, the combination of Beckham and Victoria has completely surpassed the bonus of ordinary stars and entertainment stars, becoming a unique phenomenon in the world.
Even their children are the focus of attention of major media and have a large number of fans, which greatly increases the charm of this family.
In England, the most popular family among the media and the public is besides the royal family. You can see a clue by looking at the major media gathering around them every time they travel.
This time, Xiao Bei's family came to the United States for Christmas, and it was related to a super rich man like Xiao Feng, which made the media extremely excited.
When I was in New York, countless media asked about the relationship between the Xiao family and the Beckham family, making them the hottest family in the mainstream media in the United States before Christmas.
Even today, many media reporters still appeared near the "Jinghu Scenic Area", hoping to take pictures of Xiao Bei's family getting off the plane. It would be even better if they could take pictures of heavyweight rich people such as Xiao Feng.
………
Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao personally went to the airport to welcome Xiao Bei's family. After all, their identities deserve such grand treatment. Xiao Feng's affairs in England also depended on Xiao Bei's help.
When he heard that his brothers and sisters were coming, Nini and Yuer could not sit still. They drove their baby all-terrain car and took Ding Dang, Tongtong, Haoyu and others to greet him.
Li Yan, Dayi and several other little guys of the same age as Brooklyn could no longer hold back, and they also followed the welcome team to the airport, which looked particularly grand.
"David, thank you all the way!" Xiao Feng and his wife hugged and greeted Xiao Bei and his wife. They smiled and said, "The children are waiting for Brooklyn brothers, and they are talking every day!"
For Xiao Feng, as long as his family is happy, everything is worth it!
Children like to be with Brooklyn, Romeo and others. Even if it is a little trouble, Xiao Feng will create conditions to realize the children's wishes.
"I'm a little embarrassed to welcome you so grandly!" Bei still had a charming smile in his signature style. He said: "I was delayed a little in New York this time, but fortunately I was not late!"
After the greetings, the children had already found their companions and left the airport in a swarm, leaving silver bell-like laughter on the snow of the free ranch.
Li Yan, Xiao Dayi, Brooklyn, and Romeo are about the same age and they all have a common hobby for football. They have already made an appointment online to have fun at the indoor football stadium on the ranch for a few days.
Now that Brooklyn and Romeo have entered Chelsea's youth training camp, they may be on the road of professional football in the future. After all, with the father's template in front, their careers will be much higher than many people.
As for Li Yan and Xiao Dayi, they were not so concerned about heavy learning. They spent more time playing football when they first went to high school. Especially after Xiao Feng bought Newcastle United, the two little guys were even more focused on playing football. During the summer vacation, they even went to Newcastle's youth training camp to participate in some basic training, and their ideas were already obvious.
Xiao Feng did not object to this. After soliciting the opinions of his fourth brother Xiao Ji, his third sister Fengxian and his third brother-in-law Li Weiguo, he planned to let them go to England to receive systematic football training.
However, before that, they and the Brooklyn brothers were going to the "Dream Ranch" to receive Xiao Feng's special training, laying a good foundation for the future!
Yu'er received her favorite sister Xiaoqi and drove her specially modified Bombardier all-terrain car in the snow, which made Xiaoqi laugh.
Beibei and Victoria saw that the children quickly integrated into the Xiao family's children's group. They also showed a gratitude on their faces. It seemed that the children had inherited their genes and their personal charm was above the level.
………
It is now three o'clock in the afternoon. It happens to be the tea time that English people are used to. Xiao Feng prepared the best "Mengyao Coffee" and Western pastries made by himself at home. Welcome the Xiaobei couple!
When they arrived at home, Xiao Bei and his wife still politely greeted the old man and the old man at home, and even chatted with the old man in a few words of Mandarin, which made Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao stunned.
"David, when did you start learning Mandarin?" Xiao Feng was a little incredible. After all, Xiao Bei used to be Chinese language such as 'Hello, thank you'. He didn't see him for a few months and he spoke very well.
"I have learned from Ms. Xiao Shaoyao in the past few months. I am not stupid, right?" Xiao Bei signaled to Xiao Shaoyao on the opposite side of the sofa and said with a smile: "The more I learn Chinese, the more I feel it is profound and interesting."
It is naturally the idea of his wife to learn Chinese. Beckham was still confused at the beginning, but after Victoria's reminder, he realized that learning Chinese well is very important.
As Xiao Feng’s friend and an important subordinate, if Xiao Bei can learn Chinese, it will be a good thing for both public and private, so Xiao Bei is very attentive. Not only that, Xiao Bei also hired a Chinese language teacher for the children and went to home twice a week to take classes. Now the children have begun to use Chinese language for simple communication, and their progress is greater than that of adults.
"David and the others are very smart and they learn very well!" Xiao Shaoyao nodded and recognized Xiao Bei's learning progress.
As the financial director of Newcastle Club, Xiao Shaoyao is still very busy, especially when the club may transfer during the winter break. However, Xiao Feng still gave Xiao Shaoyao a holiday and asked him to come back from England for vacation. As for the transfer, there were naturally other club staff members to handle it.
While drinking coffee and eating pastries made by Xiao Feng, a group of young people gradually turned to the current situation of Newcastle Club.
Currently, the team ranks seventh in the Premier League, just one step away from the European arena, and has improved compared to last year's record, but compared with the transfer funds of more than 140 million pounds in the summer, it is somewhat unsatisfactory.
As for the cup, the FA Cup was not the top 16, but was eliminated in the top 8 of the League Cup. Now only the league is the life-saving straw.
As a Premier League club that is also an external investment, Manchester City won the fifth place in the league in the 2009 season and then rose rapidly, winning the FA Cup in 2011 and the Premier League in 2012, undoubtedly setting a benchmark in front of Newcastle United.
However, judging from the current club situation, Xiao Feng cannot see too many positive elements. The team not only has average record, but also has a very ugly playing style.
Although Alan Hiller is a legendary striker in Premier League history, his coaching level is indeed average, his mind is conservative and his on-site command is quite poor. There were several times when Xiao Feng watched the broadcast in front of the TV and wanted to take the field to command the game himself.
In fact, Xiao Feng had already sentenced Hiller to death in his heart for the future of Newcastle. He was hired as the head coach just to ease the emotions of the fans and speed up the integration of the club. The club only signed a contract with Hiller for a total of 4 million euros for two years. For Xiao Feng, the cost of breach of contract is not high.
Of course, although he had already made a judgment in his mind, even Xiao Feng rarely came to watch the football scene. But he still hoped to listen to the opinions and statements of the party involved, Xiao Bei, and then decide whether to fulfill the two-year contract or change coaches next summer?
"The team's condition looks much better than in previous years. If our goal is just to stay in the Premier League, it's good!" There were no outsiders on the court. Bei Bei did not have much cover up and continued: "Alan is a very diligent and serious person, but he still cannot show convincing talent and does not have enough ability to drive the team to compete for the championship!"
As a junior and fellow villager of Hiller, Xiao Bei made such an evaluation of Hiller in front of Xiao Feng, and there was nothing wrong with that. Europeans and Americans are used to distinguishing their work and personal relationships very clearly. Since Bei Bei got Xiao Feng's salary, he must be responsible for the team's future and give practical suggestions.
As soon as Beckham debuted, he met a famous coach like Sir Ferguson, and his standards for the head coach are naturally extremely high. There is still a huge gap between Alan Hiller's current performance and top coaches.
Bei Bei did not think Hiller could lead Newcastle to the English domestic championship and even the Champions League. He was unreserved in front of Xiao Feng.
"I also see the situation of the team!" Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Let's take a look for it for now. When some famous coaches are unemployed, we will consider changing coaches!"
It is naturally not difficult to fire Alan Shearer. The liquidated damages of several million euros are just a drop in the bucket for the "Jinghu Group".
But if you take over the team, you have to carefully consider the coaches. There are countless coaches with coaching ability, but it is difficult to find a coach who leads the team to the top.
Therefore, even with the intention of changing the coach, Xiao Feng could only wait patiently until he found a suitable replacement, and then he would start the plan!
I didn’t talk about the work of the club for too long. After all, this is a family gathering, so it’s not interesting to talk about work all the time, so the topic quickly turned to other topics.
Xu Mengyao, Xiao Shaoyao, Xiao Moli and Victoria talked about parenting styles and fashion. Everyone communicated in English, and occasionally a few Chinese words appeared, which was very happy.
As for Xiao Feng and Xiao Bei, the topic is still about the future of several children, after all, they are all fathers!
At present, the three Brooklyn brothers are receiving professional football training. Bei Bei naturally hopes that his sons can engage in this sport in the future. If all the three brothers can join the England national team in the future, it will be a good story!
However, according to Beckham's observation, except for her three sons who have outstanding names like Cruz, Brooklyn and Romeo can only be said to be average, which somewhat disappointed Beckham.
However, when Bei Bei saw Xiao Feng's perfect set ball and unparalleled dribbling speed in the training ground, he realized that some turning points might occur in his child's future.
This time, I brought my whole family to the "Dream Ranch". In addition to vacationing, the most important thing is to let the children receive Xiao Feng's special training and make the final effort for their final professional football dream.
"Boss, with your strength, if you participate in professional football, your achievements will definitely be much higher than mine!" Bei Bei had seen Xiao Feng's performance on the football field. In his eyes, even Zidane at his peak, Ronaldo could not be compared. Therefore, when he heard Xiao Feng say he was going to participate in the NBA, he was still a little disappointed.
"It doesn't matter. When a few Brooklyn learn my breathing method and cooperate with my training system, their physical fitness will be greatly improved and their muscle control will reach a height. Coping with professional football is just a trivial matter!" Regarding Beckham's suggestion, Xiao Feng waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's better to play NBA in the United States and spend more time with the children!"
Xiao Feng's statement was naturally recognized by the warm-hearted father Xiao Bei. He had missed training because of a high fever in Brooklyn, which led to the intensification of the conflict with Sir Ferguson. In Bei Bei's world, family is undoubtedly the first priority.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Feng, the otaku dad, has such a close relationship with Xiao Bei. Two men with a common family concept can easily get together.
………
The arrival of Xiaobei's family made the entire "Maple Leaf Castle" even more lively. The old man and the old lady watched more than a dozen children making noise inside and outside the castle. Although it was a bit noisy, it was quite festive.
For the elderly, wealth and money are just some numerical symbols, and only children and grandchildren are the happiest things for them.
In the past few days, there have been photos of children playing around Xiao Feng's scarf from time to time, whether it is riding snowmobile, skiing, ice skating, building snowmen, and making ice sculptures, making the children's Christmas holiday particularly fulfilling and joyful.
The atmosphere of celebrating Christmas at Xiao Feng's home is getting stronger and stronger, which has also infected Xiao Feng's fans. Everyone is actively preparing for a special Christmas. There are even many wealthy fans planning to fly to the "Dream Scenic Area" during Christmas days. Maybe they can meet Xiao Feng and Xiao Bei in the ski resort.
Therefore, the consultations received by Brilliant Travel Agency and several major state-owned travelers have risen sharply in the past few days. Everyone took advantage of the two days before Christmas to go to the "Dream Scenic Area" for vacation.
Xiao Feng naturally would not expect his huge influence among the fan group. In addition to accompanying the children, he spent more time in the kitchen in the past two days to prepare for the grand Christmas Eve dinner.
This time, the Xiao family reunites at the "Dream Ranch". The great master Xiao Duliang also brought Alice's grandmother from "Ginkgo Village" to the United States. All members of the American lineage also gathered in the "Dream Ranch"! (To be continued.)
